Validním

Validním is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective validní, which means valid, legitimate, or authentic. It is used to describe things whose status is current and acceptable, such as documents, credentials, permissions, or data entries. In everyday and formal Czech, validní appears in administrative, legal, and technical contexts, often alongside or contrasted with platný, which emphasizes legal validity.

Etymology and usage: validní is a Czech adaptation of the English word valid, integrated into the contemporary lexicon of official language. It tends to appear in contexts involving verification, certification, or authentication—areas where a status or condition must be proven to be true at the present moment. The term is common in business, IT, healthcare, travel, and government documentation.

Morphology and examples: validním is the instrumental singular form used with masculine inanimate nouns, as in S validním dokladem (with a valid document). For feminine nouns, the appropriate instrumental form is used, for example s validní kartou (with a valid card). Phrases such as Mám validní průkaz or Potvrzení potvrzuje, že data jsou validní illustrate typical usage of the adjective before nouns in different genders and cases.

Relation to related terms: validní is related to platný (legal validity) and validita (validity). While platný emphasizes legality, validní often stresses current authenticity or suitability of a credential, document, or data in a given context.
